Update 10/11/11:

Upon a return trip to the site on Oct. 4th, we were able to restore regular operation to the Blackstone radar!!! However, there are still some issues that need to be resolved, such as an internet connection to the site. On our "move-in" trip in late September, we found that our wireless internet hop was not working. We've since ordered parts and hope to install a new wireless system in the next week or so. We've also done some initial data analysis and notice that we have a few other things to work on to finalize the installation of the new electronics.

Initial posting:

New electronics have been installed at the Blackstone radar site and ran for a few hours on Sept. 21. However, due to complications from facilities issues, the radar is not continuously running at the moment. A trip next week in early October should result in continuous operation of the radar although its not certain that an internet connection will be established so data downloads may be delayed.
